I already work from home, no semi-vacation for me haha. Though I did just crack one of my tins of C&D XX Flake and hot damn, that’s a tasty blend. Warm weather means I’ll be smoking a lot of that stuff over the next couple weeks ?

I don’t work in an industry where I can work from home :(, but my kids get out of school for a month! I’m so jealous. If this happened to me when I was a kid, I would have felt like I won the lottery hahaha.

Haha, right? I was thinking the same thing. The ultra rare "snow day" when I was a kid was like a carnival cruise. I can only imagine what an extra week of spring break would have felt like. My head would probably have exploded. Although, (in AK at least) they are rapidly developing alternative education plans, so they won't be off scott free.

This may well show us that many more people can do their job just as well from home. This could be a good thing for workers and businesses. Many have felt that this is the wave of the future for many people anyway. This may have just kicked this ahead.
The long term economic impact of shutting things down could also be a bigger health impact than the virus. If paycheck to paycheck workers now can't afford the basic needs, it could be a major health problem. Time will tell.

I can work from home, in fact I can work anywhere there's an internet connection. In my mind that's a bad thing, disrupting home life and personal time.

It is undeniably going to be the norm for loads of jobs in the future, and I think that's a terrible thing
